Iran's government spokeswoman said Sunday that Tehran has begun collecting evidence and filing complaints for legal action against Israel and the United States over the assassination of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, according to The Jerusalem Post. The announcement marks the formal launch of legal proceedings previously threatened by Iranian officials.
Iran's government announced on Sunday that it has formally begun collecting evidence and filing legal complaints against Israel and the United States over the assassination of former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Government spokeswoman Fatemeh Mohajerani told reporters: "The process of filing a complaint after collecting evidence and documentation has begun and is being followed up," as reported by state-aligned outlets. The announcement follows months of threats from Iranian officials, including a directive from Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei in late June ordering courts to open hundreds of cases against US and Israeli officials, and an earlier vow by the IRGC Intelligence Ministry to avenge Khamenei's killing. Tehran has increasingly shifted its public posture from military retaliation to international legal warfare, though the regime continues to sponsor armed proxies across the region. No court filing has been published, and the practical legal avenues for such a suit remain unclear.
